historical coin spill found in New England.

[TRHNTR]

sorry about my original post. I am not familiar with this site and I thought I had posted the story about the coins, but apparently I did not.
It was my first outing with a couple friends I haven’t seen in a while. trying our luck on some new permission hay fields. I found six tree coins in about a 20 foot radius, all in separate holes, I was in amazement. couldn’t believe it, grateful I we went back for three more days and pounded it and
I squeezed out two more tree coins!
 I can’t believe it 🤯 going over the site thoroughly again for the third day, The six pence was in a hole I’d already rechecked, and the three pence must’ve gotten lonely 🤓 Note to self: after you recheck your holes, make sure you remember to recheck your holes again!
that makes a total of eight Tree coins found,  unbelievable! and I it was a coin spill, but now that I think about it, that’s an awful lot of money to be carrying around. It could’ve been a stash that was spread by the plow, we can only imagine.. 😊 I still can’t believe it, I am beyond grateful and honestly speechless 🫠🙃
I had to put down my dog-sweet baby girl Cali a couple weeks ago, it never gets easier 💔
One of my friends had said to me you spent eight beautiful years with her and she gave you eight beautiful treats from heaven. Makes total sense now.😌 thank you Cali🙏

I agree that's the best finds I've ever seen in the US. Way to go!

Still no story.

Still no story.

No anything. One jaw-dropper post, then hasn't been back since. At least not yet.

 

[SlateBeltDigger]

Yeah, I quit!

LOL OUTSTANDING LIFE CHANGING RECOVERY-thank you for sharing!

 

[villagenut]

Man o man....what's not to like about that. Backstory please

 

[Tesorodeoro]

Great finds. I highly doubt that was a “coin spill”. More likely a stash. Of course we’d need a little more backstory.

If these were found anywhere near the house I grew up in Plymouth, I’ll projectile vomit all over my 1988 Plymouth North Yearbook.

Can't find a "TRHNTR" anywhere else on the web, and as Robert said, they
ain't been back since they made that post.

Could an AI create that image? No offense to the OP, but I'm just
not that trusting anymore.

 

[Jose The Goon]

I hear ya Dizzy. Quite the hit-and-run. For whatever reasons, it seems that something secretive is going on. Maybe the OP has second thoughts about letting the world know about such a "historic" find. Too many questions could be asked about the find that they might not want to have to answer.

Several AI detection sites say its 100% legit.
Odd to post it though and not return, especially with a picture of them, the finders in it.
And his only post since joining in 2016.

I'm thinking the same thing.

I am sure the Op is relishing in the moment(s)... once the realization of it all set in i am sure the Op is out seeking advice how to move forward.
Now...
I did notice there were three people in the picture...
From past stories and such i know that things can get "icky" on the "split" when mulitple people are involved...
I would dare guess that there are several things in play here and this site is the farthest thing from that mindset currently.
We shall see how it plays out.
After all....
There is some serious money involved there.

 

[Mr. Digger]

Drop the mic fellow Mass hunter...and the pinpointer.. No one will ever top that one. Even just one of those coins is the kind of find that we New England detectorists dream about. But a spill? Mind numbing.

Best guess on the cone of silence is that this guy got a private permission and in doing so casually told the land owner "hey if I find something truly historic and valuable I'll let you know" or maybe he found it on public town land or worse yet in a state park (a no no) and he is worried someone will try to lay claim to the find. And so now he is trying to figure out what to do. There is a spot I used to hunt on town land (woods, trails and fields, not a manicured public park) and a town employee approached me on two separate occasions asking to see what I found, my name, and telling me that anything historical I find belongs to the town.

eBay has quite a few for sale. Prices are all over the map. I think it depends not only condition but which dies it came from. Very valuable any way you cut it.

Basically that was my thoughts as well. The realization of what the coins are worth. Was it on public, or private lands.
Possible split, or each guy for themselves.

It's not like let's meet up for a hunt tomorrow and we'll split all the recoveries between us.

It's speculation on our part that these all came out of the same whole even. It could of been multiple recoveries and it was a group photo of the day's take.

When dealing with the potential $$$ that can involve lots of different People and issues.

Heck it's very possible it was a single person dig. No interest in selling, going to put them in a display and enjoy looking at them.

Yeah... people can and do turn funny when a lot of money is involved.
